Heroes' Prison

Chapter 376 - 368 Each Defeats Separately

"Moreover, the guild leader even went to Goblin City, spending a fortune on a powerful Level 199 Guardian Mecha, which can be called invincible below the Heavenly Realm! Once it’s used, it doesn’t matter if it’s Instakill or Dragon Spike, they will all be killed! The intense sounds of battle coming from the direction of the war flag must mean that Brother Lang Ge is currently operating the mecha and fighting against Instakill. This time, Instakill has kicked an iron plate! We are the 21st ranked large guild, not some ragtag guild. If he uses the same tactics he did against the smaller guilds to fight us, isn’t he looking for death?"

...

At this moment, a grand battle was unfolding in front of Huang Yi and Lang Ge!

With a "Boom!" a Guardian Mecha swung its Mechanical Knife fiercely, slashing toward Unmatched Swordsman, but the swordsman casually raised his arm, blocking the strike with a huge War Blade!

The swordsman quickly retaliated, sending the Guardian Mecha flying backward with a strike so ferocious that it even damaged a nearby fortress, leaving a massive gash!

"Brother Yi, the strong fighter you summoned is really powerful! Five Guardian Mechas can’t beat him!" Lang Ge said while skillfully controlling his mecha in battle. His personality might be somewhat effeminate, but his control of the mecha was anything but, as he fought with extreme ferocity.

"The incarnation I summoned is indeed quite formidable, or else it wouldn’t have destroyed that fortress," Huang Yi nodded, his gaze lingering on the battle. By now, the fortress was covered in sword scars and would soon be shattered.

"Actually, the Wind Kingdom has a Level 199 Mecha that’s extremely powerful. If it gets involved, killing this fighter would be easy! But that super mecha needs Holy Crystal Stones to activate, unlike these Level 100 Mechas that only require Magic Stones," Lang Ge said as he continued to handle the mecha with ease.

Huang Yi was slightly shocked; he hadn’t expected the Ice Wind Water Soul to be able to afford such high-level Guardian Mechas.

Level 199 Mechas were exceedingly rare; only Goblins skilled in mechanical crafting could barely make them. They’re considered the most powerful Guardian Mechas one could buy up till now, deemed invincible below the Heavenly Realm. However, compared to the Sand King, who was also over Level 190, they still couldn’t win, as Guardian Mechas were inanimate objects and weaker when fighting autonomously.

"Then when Ice Wind Water Soul teleports back and brings that Level 199 Mecha, we might fail," Huang Yi frowned, the Level 199 Mecha was an unanticipated variable. Unless he could release a Criminal like the Sand King, but this wasn’t his territory, so he couldn’t release his true body. And if he only released an incarnation, it wouldn’t be able to defeat a Level 199 Mecha. Such unrestricted incarnations could only reach at most 50% of the original body’s strength, a cap that even his own incarnations couldn’t surpass.

Now, he had no solution for that Level 199 Mecha! Unless he could get the key to the Celestial Realm Experts and release his Celestial Realm incarnation!

"Don’t worry, Ice Wind Water Soul won’t be coming back," Lang Ge said with a sly smile, "Before you came, I had already sabotaged the Teleportation Circle. Now, outsiders genuinely can’t teleport in here, not even Ice Wind Water Soul, the guild leader. It will take at least a whole night to repair the Teleportation Circle, and by then, we’ll have already taken over this territory."

Meanwhile, far away in Tiantai City, Ice Wind Water Soul had received the news that his territory was being attacked, sent by Lang Ge.

"Lang Ge, hold on a little longer, I’ll be back immediately!" Ice Wind Water Soul replied with a pale face, hurried to the Teleportation Field, and teleported to Lingxiao City near the Guild City of the Wind Kingdom.

His heart was completely suspended with worry. The defeat of his 15 million members didn’t matter much, as a large portion were members of other guilds, his losses were limited, it was more of a blow to his pride—that could be recovered from later.

But if the guild’s home base was destroyed, it would mean the end of the guild he painstakingly built, making it extremely difficult to rise again.

With a flash of light, Ice Wind Water Soul teleported to Skysoar City, which had a direct connection to the Guild City of the Wind Kingdom, and he immediately selected to teleport to the Guild City.

The next moment, he received a system prompt—

[System Prompt]: The target town’s Teleportation Circle is damaged and cannot be used for teleportation.

Ice Wind Water Soul’s legs nearly gave out under him in weakness as he sensed an unprecedented crisis. The enemy clearly had a planned attack, destroying the Teleportation Circle first. Now the Guild City was like Lonely City, unable to receive timely reinforcements, reachable only by travelling.

The next moment, Ice Wind Water Soul urgently sent a message to the Battlefield Group leader of the Wind Kingdom, Fluttering Maple Leaf: "Instakill is attacking our Guild City, and the Teleportation Circle has been destroyed. You need to immediately bring a group of fast riders on mounts to help Lang Ge! He can’t cope alone!"

But soon, he received Fluttering Maple Leaf’s anxious reply: "Big brother, we’re currently entangled by the expert assassin Mirror Broken of the Hero Guild’s Assassins’ Hall. He’s brought a group of assassins to keep us occupied, I can’t break free!"

Ice Wind Water Soul involuntarily took a couple of steps backward, turning pale once again.

He quickly sent another message to another high-ranking guild member: "Guan Xiang, you, Black Skin, and Braised Egg need to immediately bring our hundred-thousand-strong team and stop attacking the Hero Guild’s port! Hurry to the nearest teleport point and come to Lingxiao City, take mounts back to the Guild City!"

"Big brother! Just now, the Hero Guild suddenly attacked us with a force, and we are being wiped out! Braised Egg has already been reincarnated!" came the urgent reply, steeped in panic.

Ice Wind Water Soul collapsed onto the ground, her mind a complete blank.

All the arrangements she had made were now shattered by Huang Yi, catching her entirely off guard.

At this moment, people were constantly coming and going through the teleportation circle in Lingxiao City. Passersby saw Ice Wind Water Soul collapsed on the ground and looked down at her curiously.

"Hmm? This person looks familiar, looks like it’s the president of Wind Kingdom, Ice Wind Water Soul."

"Didn’t she lead fifteen million members in a grand assault on Dragon City? How come she’s collapsed here now?"

"Haven’t you checked the forums? Just now, Instakill’s Guardians drove off the Half-Beastmen, and all fifteen million of Ice Wind Water Soul’s members are dead..."

Suddenly, the crowd was abuzz, pointing and talking among themselves.

"Get the hell out of my way!" Ice Wind Water Soul’s face flushed red as she roared at the surrounding crowd and immediately got up to dash toward the city gates.

Now, her only option was to hurry back to the Guild Territory!

...

"Brother Yi, we’ll soon be able to break through that fortress!" Lang Ge said as he controlled his mecha while talking to Huang Yi.

Three out of the five mechas were already out of commission, and the remaining two were still battling the Unmatched Swordsman. The nearby fortress was damaged beyond recognition, cracks spread throughout its surface, and its dark interior was vaguely visible, ready to shatter at any moment.

"Boom!" Just then, the Unmatched Swordsman struck down hard at a mecha, but Lang Ge quickly maneuvered the mecha away, as the sword swung down hitting the fortress instead!

"Rumble!" The next moment, the fortress split open, revealing the scene inside.

There, right in the fortress, lay a fragile War Flag, which had been hanging listlessly, but now as the fortress broke, it was blown aloft by the gusts of wind caused by the nearby battle. The flag bore a flamboyant "Wind" character.

Below the flag were ten different Guardian Mechas, including Bow and Arrow Mobile Armor, Warrior Mecha, Magic Mechs, and so on.

The most eye-catching among them was the Guardian Mecha in the center. This mecha wasn’t as bulky as the others but was incredibly compact, only about two to three meters tall, reminiscent of a transformer. It emitted a silver light throughout, clearly made from the expensive mithril, an unusual metal known for greatly reducing magic damage, thus very costly to produce.

"Click" At that moment, all ten mechas suddenly activated automatically and began to fight on their own. The Unmatched Swordsman immediately faced attacks from ten mechas and became frantically busy.

"Swoosh!" A flash of silver light, and the central silver Guardian Mecha immediately charged over, its silver-white mechanical knife swept through the air, leaving a streak of silver light as it cleaved into the Unmatched Swordsman.

The next moment, the Unmatched Swordsman was dead, dissipating into the air.

Afterward, the silver mecha turned and returned to its position, while the other mechas remained motionless. Their range of activities was limited to that small area, not able to be lured away.

"Such an amazing mecha!" Lang Ge exclaimed, staring fixedly at the silver mecha.

"That must be the Level 199 Guardian Mecha, right?" Huang Yi said gravely, his gaze also fixed on the battlefield ahead. That mecha was more formidable than all the others combined; they were definitely not on the same level.

"It must be. I’d always wondered why I had never seen that Level 199 mecha before. To think it was hidden here all along. Big brother, what do we do now? There are Bow and Arrow Mobile Armors as well, so even if you were to fly up and attack the War Flag, it would be useless," Lang Ge said anxiously, stomping his foot slightly.

Huang Yi shook his head and said, "Don’t worry, as long as Ice Wind Water Soul doesn’t come back to control it, its power will be greatly reduced. It’s particularly low on intelligence, so it’ll just waste a bit more time. You control the remaining two mechas outside and push your way into the group of ten mechas. Distract those Bow and Arrow Mobile Armors and the Magic Mechas, don’t let them attack me."(To be continued.
